Isn't that the truth?!?!??

Hello Wonderful Families,

We have live butterflies! We will be learning about life cycles in conjunction with our Science unit. The class is very excited. 

Our new WIG goal for this quarter is 100% mastery on math facts. I can see that many of the kids need to really work on their facts. Please practice them at home. They will be quizzed periodically through the week. 

Congratulations to Rustin who was a finalist in the School Spelling Bee and will be competing in the District Spelling Bee this week. We are all cheering for you! 

Each student has been assigned a desert animal for our next writing project. The class will be writing a report on an desert animal. Most of the work will be done in class. They may need to do a few finishing touches at home but the bulk will be completed here. I need each child to have a book or two about their animal so they can complete the research for the project. Each child needs their books by Friday. I will print one source from the Internet for each of them to use and they will have some access to the class computer. (Thank you!!!) 

Important Dates:

Monday 1/19- Martin Luther King Day*** No School***

Thursday 1/22- District Spelling Bee

Friday 1/23- Book Due for desert animal report

The kids are learning and growing. I love each and every one of them. 

Have a lovely week, 

Ms. T
